Question

Please help me idk this

Answer 1

First take the fractions and find their common denominator:

`(1)/(2)` x 4 =
`(4)/(8)`

Now you can add the fractions:

`(4)/(8) + (1)/(8) = (5)/(8)`

Now add your whole numbers and the fraction:
1+1= 2 >> 2+
`(5)/(8)` = 2
`(5)/(8)` yards

Now subract 2
`(5)/(8)` from 5:
5-2
`(5)/(8)` =2
`(3)/(8)` yards

Answer 2

First, we add the amounts she used.

1 1/2 + 1 1/8
We need a common denominator for the fractions. It is 8.

1 1/2 + 1 1/8 = 1 4/8 + 1 1/8 = 2 5/8

She used 2 5/8 yd.

Now we subtract 2 5/8 yd from 5 yd to find out how much she has left.

5 - 2 5/8

There is no fraction with the 5, so we borrow 1 from 5, leaving 4, and we write the 1 as fraction 8/8. Then we subtract the whole numbers, and we subtract the fractions.


5 - 2 5/8 = 4 8/8 - 2 5/8 = 2 3/8

Answer: She has 2 3/8 yd left.
